Nov. 9, 1937. BOEUF 2,098,344 DISPENSER Filed June 23, 1937 PatentedNov. 9, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to improvements in dispensers and is particularlydirected to improvements in dispensers for holy water and the like.

The principal objects of the invention are directed to the provision ofa dispenser for holy water and the like which is not only particularlyadapted for the purpose intended but is distinctively constructed sothat its form is in accord With the use for which the device isespecially intended. The device is simple in form so as to be economicalto manufacture.

Various other novel features and advantages of the invention will beheinaiter more fully referred to in connection With the accompanyingdescription of the invention in the form at present preferred, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a device embodying the novelfeatures of the invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the upper part ofthe dispenser shown in Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawing more in detail the invention Will be fullydescribed with reference to the drawing.

The dispenser2 has a vertical shaft member 3 and side arm members 6. Thelatter are secured to member 4 in some suitable manner in order to forma cross as shown.

The central member 4 is preierably rod-like and tubular while the arms 6are also preferably rod-like and may be tubular if desired. Plasticmaterial, such as cellulose nitrate or cellulose acetate, has been foundto be a particularly suitabie material from which to form the rods 4 and6.

A cap such as 8 is provided in the lower end of the central member 6 soas to close the same and I also preferably have similar caps 9 on theouter ends of the members 6. Not only do such caps serve to close theends of the mentioned members but they may readily provide ornamentationsince they may be also formed of plastic material and of a difierentcolor from that of which the members 4 and 6 are made.

A barre1 or sleeve 10 is provided in the upper end of the tubular member4 and this is internally threaded to receive the lower threaded part ofa hellow member I2. The sleeve Il) is preferably suitably secured in thetubular member 4 and the member l2 has a fiange l4 to carry a washer I5.The washer [5 is preferably formed of cork and it bears on the sleeve I9and upper end of the tubular member 4, all as shown.

In the upper end of member l2 there is a nozzle member 3 which isprovided with an opening 5 therethrough. A washer 20, which is alsoprovided with an opening, is disposed in the lower end part of saidmember l2, somewhat after the manner shown.

A cap member 22 has a metal part 24 therein 10 and the latter isinternally threaded for engaging an upper threaded end 26 of the member[2. A washer 28 in the member 24 is adapted to bear on the nozzle l8when the cap 22 is screwed in place to prevent leakage. 15

The cap 22 may also be provided With a part 39 for closing its upper endand this may carry v a part 32 in which is a ring 34. The ring 34 may beattached to a neck or waist cord so that the instrument may beconveniently carried about. 20

It Will be readily seen that the dispenser of the invention isconstructed in such a way as to lend itself for the purpose to which itis intended and by simply unscrewing the cap the part 4 may be graspedand the device swung so that water is thrown from the nozzle !8. Theparts are readily assembled and yet leakage is unlikely.

Whle I have described the invention in great detail and With respect toa preferred form there- 30 of, it is not desired to be limited theretosince many changes and modifications may be made therein withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention. What it is desiredto claim and secure by Letters Patent of the United 35 States is:

As a new article of manufacture, a dispensing device of the classdescribed comprising in combination, a vertical hollow tube,horizontallydisposed and aligned side arms secvred to opposite sidesthereof to form a cross, a closure cap on the lower end of said tube,the latter having an open upper end and being adapted to hold liquid, aninternally-threaded sleeve within the upper end part of said tube, anozzle member 45 having a lower part in threaded engagement With saidsleeve and an upper part projecting above the upper edge thereof, and aclosure cap for fitting over said nozzle.
